Peel the pumpkin, cut it into big chunks, and put in a pot. Put sugar on and let it sit until pumpkin is juicy. ( I let it over night ) then you can season with cloves, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or more ( until tender) . ( you can cook it on the oven, if you want) . During the last 5 minutes the pumpkin color will change and will take on a bright orange ‘candied’ look. Remove from heat. Let it cool.

Arrange on a serving plate, garnish with walnuts or grated coconut, hazelnutz or pistachios. I used sesame.
